Outdoor

The natural world is a wonderful learning environment for children.

Many love natural history and learning about the world around them. The sensory opportunities are great! Digging and planting, carrying water and pushing wheelbarrows all provide great calming proprioception as well as offering a motivating learning experience. Look for quick grow items such as cress or lettuce. Try planting vegetables or easy grow flowers, and support the children in tending to the plants. The gardening tools and striped gardening gloves help cue the child in to the task, knowing what is going to be expected of them.
